The Orwell Lectures

The Orwell Lecture has been given annually since 1989. The lecture has attracted notable speakers including Dr Rowan Williams, Dame Hilary Mantel, Robin Cook and Ian Hislop. Originally held at Birkbeck, University of London and the University of Sheffield, there are currently two annual Orwell Lectures: the Orwell Lecture at University College London and the Orwell Lecture in the North at the University of Sheffield, in association with The Sir Bernard Crick Centre.
